Determining Which Channel the Keyboard is
Using
The Compact Keyboard has eight individual channels
available to it. To determine which channel a device is
currently using:
1. Press and quickly release the Channel button at the top
of the keyboard.
2. Count the number of times the green Status light at the
top of the keyboard flashes. The number of flashes indi-
cates the channel the keyboard is using.
Note: If the keyboard’s channel is changed when the computer is
powered down or the receiver is not connected, the devices
will become unsynchronized. When the system is running,
click and release the Channel button as described above to
confirm the channel. The keyboard broadcasts a message
across all eight channels that informs the receiver what chan-
nel it is currently operating on. The receiver then automati-
cally restores synchronization.

device should be set to operate on a unique channel. For the
best reception, space the channels apart by one or more chan-
nels. For example, setting the channels to “2” and “4” is rec-
ommended over setting the channels to “2” and “3”.
If you are installing three or more devices on a single receiver,
see “Installing 3 or More Devices” on page 9. Remember if a
Teach/Learn sequence has already been performed, it is not
necessary to re-synchronize the devices after a channel
change.
To change the channel:
1. Press and quickly release the Channel button located at
the top of the keyboard.
2. When you release the Channel button, the keyboard will
change to the next sequential channel and the green Sta-
tus light at the top of the keyboard will flash. The number
